Course summary

Gain a comprehensive understanding of the forces that shape political, philosophical, and economic societies.

Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) BA Honours brings together three disciplines into one flexible degree. On our degree programme, you'll:
Equip yourself with the tools to analyse and respond to the complex challenges of the modern world.
Develop the skills to think critically, analyse evidence, and communicate ideas with confidence.
Gain experience in strategic planning, problem-solving, and research.
Build strengths in communication, data analysis, IT, and organisation.
Tackle global challenges and succeed in a wide range of careers.

You’ll also have the flexibility to structure your degree in the way that suits you best. This can be an equal split across all three subjects, a focus on any two, or specialising in the one you're most passionate about. You can shape your degree and adapt it as your academic and career goals develop.

Compulsory modules introduce key concepts and approaches in philosophy, economics and politics, developing the technical and mathematical abilities you’ll need to succeed.
